The Residents at Portumna Retirement Village were lucky to access the local Artist In Residence, Ruth Smith, who is making her many skills available to the Shorelines Arts Festival this year. Ruth payed us a visit on Wednesday afternoon and played and sang a wide variety of tunes. She was helped out by our own resident James Murphy, who provided us with one of his own recitals. A great afternoon of singing, music and poetry was had by all.
